PENCIL - Basic Shading Techniques
Summary
TLDRIn this tutorial, Miss Lily introduces essential pencil shading techniques for sketching, including hatching, cross-hatching, scribble, and pressure control. She guides viewers to practice these techniques by shading boxes from light to dark on paper. For hatching, she demonstrates filling boxes with parallel lines, gradually reducing the space between them. Cross-hatching involves adding angled lines over parallel ones, increasing in number and angle. Scribbling is done by progressively adding more scribbles to the boxes. Lastly, pressure control is showcased by shading without lifting the pencil, creating a gradient from light to dark. The video concludes with a teaser for the next tutorial on drawing and shading a simple flower using these techniques.
Takeaways
- 🎨 The video is a tutorial on pencil shading techniques for sketching.
- 📝 Viewers are instructed to prepare paper, a pencil, and a curious and patient mindset.
- 📏 The demonstration starts by drawing four rows of five boxes, each for a different shading technique.
- 🔘 The techniques covered are hatching, cross-hatching, scribble, and pressure control.
- 📏 Hatching involves drawing parallel lines with varying spacing to create different shades.
- ✏️ Cross-hatching builds on hatching by adding lines at angles to the initial parallel lines.
- 🖌️ Scribbling is a freeform technique where the amount of scribble increases from light to dark.
- 🔑 Pressure control is crucial and is practiced by varying the pressure applied to the pencil without lifting it.
- 🌟 Holding the pencil farther from the tip can help achieve lighter lines.
- 🌺 The next video will demonstrate how to draw and shade a simple flower, applying the learned shading techniques.
Q & A
What is the main focus of Miss Lily's video?
-The main focus of Miss Lily's video is to demonstrate various pencil shading techniques that are useful for sketching.
What materials are required to follow along with Miss Lily's tutorial?
-To follow along, one needs paper, a pencil, and a heart full of curiosity and patience.
How many rows and columns of boxes does Miss Lily instruct to draw for the shading techniques?
-Miss Lily instructs to draw four rows of five boxes each for practicing the shading techniques.
What are the four shading techniques that Miss Lily covers in her video?
-The four shading techniques covered are hatching, cross hatching, scribble, and pressure control.
How should the lines be drawn in the hatching technique as demonstrated by Miss Lily?
-In the hatching technique, lines should be drawn parallel to each other with generous space in between initially, and then with lines closer together, eventually overlapping.
What is the difference between the first and subsequent boxes when demonstrating cross hatching?
-In the first box for cross hatching, a series of parallel lines are drawn, and on top of these, another series of lines at an angle are added. In the subsequent boxes, more series of lines at different angles are added.
How does the scribble technique differ from the other shading techniques shown by Miss Lily?
-The scribble technique involves filling the boxes with increasingly dense scribbles, which is different from the structured lines used in hatching and cross hatching.
What is the key aspect of the pressure control technique that Miss Lily emphasizes?
-The key aspect of the pressure control technique is shading without lifting the pencil, starting with very soft pressure and gradually increasing it to create a gradient from light to dark.
What tip does Miss Lily give for those who struggle with drawing lightly?
-Miss Lily suggests holding the pencil farther away from the tip to naturally draw lighter, which can help those who struggle with drawing lightly.
What will be the content of Miss Lily's next video?
-In her next video, Miss Lily will demonstrate how to draw and shade a simple flower, incorporating the four basic shading techniques discussed in this video.

🎨 Pencil Shading Techniques Tutorial
In this video, Miss Lily introduces viewers to essential pencil shading techniques for sketching. She emphasizes the need for paper, a pencil, and a heart full of curiosity and patience. The tutorial covers four main techniques: hatching, cross-hatching, scribble, and pressure control. Each technique is demonstrated by shading boxes from light to dark. Hatching involves drawing parallel lines with varying spacing, while cross-hatching adds angled lines over the initial parallel lines. Scribbling is executed by increasing the density of scribbles in each subsequent box. Pressure control is showcased by creating a gradient from light to dark without lifting the pencil, using varying pressure. The video concludes with a teaser for the next tutorial on drawing and shading a simple flower.

good afternoon everyone this is miss
lily
and today i'm going to show you some
pencil shading techniques that i find
the most useful when i sketch
you're going to need paper pencil
and heart full of curiosity and patience
to watch
through my video
first draw four rows of five boxes
these boxes don't have to be perfect
you can go ahead and label each the
techniques that we are going to learn
which is
hatching cross hatching scribble and
pressure control we will be shading
these
boxes from light to dark starting from
the left side
hatching fill the first box with a
series of parallel lines with generous
space in between
for the next box same thing
but this time you draw the lines a
little bit closer to each other
notice how i'm lifting my pencil up each
time i draw a new line it's important to
always lift up your pencil for each line
continue with this pattern until the
lines are starting to overlap
[Music]
cross hatching starting off as a series
of parallel lines as well
this time on top of these lines add
another series of lines that are
at an angle for the next box
do the same thing but this time add one
more series of lines
on another different angle
and then continue with this pattern
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
scribble this one is easy and fun
starting with a little bit of scribble
in the first box
and then for the next box add a little
bit more scribble than the previous box
continue with this pattern until when
you reach the very last box
you got a full densely
packed scribbles
[Music]
pressure control this is a very
important one i have already done this
during the previous exercises
for this i'm going to shade these five
boxes without lifting my pencil up
starting by pressing very very soft
at the beginning and then a little bit
harder and harder
as i move toward the right side
now i have a gradient of light to dark
if you find yourself struggling with
drawing lightly
you can try holding your pencil farther
away from the tip of the pencil
this allows you to naturally draw
lighter
that's it thank you for watching in the
next video i will show you
how to draw and shade a simple flower
and base
that puts these four basic shading
techniques into practice
you
